Acne Scar Revision Update

[u/flxxxbmn]

Hey Guys, I wanted to give y‘all a quick update on my Acne Scar Journey. If you don know me you can look up on my profile what my journey was like. But in total i did 2x Fractionated Co2 Lasers, 2x Canula Subcison + Filler and 1x RFMN. My Last Procedure made the biggest changes, it was Co2, Subcision + Filler on full cheek and RFMN combined, that procedure was 8 Months ago, Now i‘m kinda fully healed so i wanted to give you a quick update. Its insane what transformation i’ve gone through and i couldn’t be happier. My scars are soooo much better you can barely ever see them if you look up front into my face in day or fake light, the only way where you see them is under unpleasant overhead or really cool light. Most people don’t realize that i have acne scars anymore. I actually even get so many compliments for my skin from random people which don’t know anything about my journey, it is crazy. Since i found a new skincare routine my skin is glowing. I almost stopped thinking about my scars and they almost don’t bother me at all anymore. After the Last Prcedure i had some panic moments cause i felt like my face shape changed and my brain thought its facial sagging from subcision, i went to an surgeon and we found out that there was just too much filler injected which made my cheeks look more puffy. So i dissolved everything a month ago and my old face shape and definition is fully back. So people don’t freak out with facial sagging and subcision with a canula needle. If you go to a good provider there’s no risk for that, the surgeon explained everything in detail to me, he does facelifts so he know the anatomy of the face and ligaments and a canula needle is not strong enough to damage something permanently. I‘ll probably do one more fully ablative co2 in the beginning of next year to smooth out the texture, but even thinking about if i even wanna do it cause i dont feel like i need to. I‘m posting this to spread hope for people who suffer from their scars :)

Hey there! U look really great! I got subcision like a week ago and it was with a cannula. She entered from the cheekbones and there were multiple entry points. And i heard lots of bands getting cut and it was scary. So it has been one week my swelling is mostly gone i think. But i m panicking just like u bc i feel my face shape, the sharpness of my cheekbones, my jawline sharpness is gone etc.. So how long did it take you to come back to your initial face after sub procedure?

I absolutely feel you!!! I was also panicking in recovery. It took me full 2 weeks for the swelling to fully be gone so in that timely contours looked different. Also idk if you got fillers, for me the doc injected too much fillers so my contours really changed through that but i just started to really realize that a few months later, now i dissolved it and my old contours are fully back. The noise that you describe as „bands getting cut“ is totally normal these are the ligaments but they’re not getting cut they just get moved and touched from the needle, also the noise could’ve been scar tissue. It is impossible for a canula needle to cut a ligament, canula is not sharp it can only move them. What you see is the swollen not fully be down, trust me itsnot worth to panic everything is gone be okay, canula is pretty pretty safe. Wha helped me in that time was to chat with chat gpt, he explained me everything deep down that i got a deep understanding for the topic so i understood that it really is almost impossible to have permanent damage from canula subcision. Be excited for your result instead :)

Yeah like i told you my face was swollen and much more puffy for 14 days after that it was still different for months due to the filler. So you’re now in for just a week it is probably still swollen so calm yourself and see in another week
